Quite often I am asked questions: how should stones be cleaned? What is it for? Is it possible to accept as a gift or take found stones for yourself? How often can stone jewelry be worn so that they do not lose their properties? etc.

Today I want to answer these questions and give you the most complete information about the purification of stones.

Why clean stones?

For each person, the meaning of stones is different, someone buys jewelry with stones without hesitation, someone, on the contrary, chooses only special gems for themselves, and they give stones to others. At the same time, the influence of stones on their owner will in any case be valid, because. all stones and minerals have a special energy.

One of the key properties that all stones possess to one degree or another is the ability to absorb environmental energy. And when a stone comes to you, you should understand that it already carries certain information. That is why before use, cleansing, both physical and energetic, should be carried out.

When should stones be cleaned?

Here is a short list of situations when a stone needs to be cleaned:

In all these cases, the stone can accumulate and store a huge amount of negative information, which not only adversely affects the owner, but also minimizes the properties of the stone itself.

Stone cleaning should be done as soon as it gets to you. And in order for the energy of the stone to help you, you need to follow some rules:

• the stone needs time to tune in to the new owner, so you should not wear and use it immediately after purchase;
• all new stones require cleaning;
• rest period after cleaning. The stone must replenish its strength after cleansing, so let it lie quietly for 5-7 days.
• the stone must be periodically charged with clean energy;
• treat the stone with care, it remembers all the vibrations coming from you and will respond in kind;
• do not give the stone to other hands if you do not want it to absorb someone else's energy;
• do not forget to periodically cleanse and restore the energy of the stone throughout the time.

How to clear the energy of the stone?

All stones, both new and acquired long ago, need to be cleaned. There are many ways to cleanse the energy of stones, you can choose the most suitable option or use multiple methods at once.

It is best to carry out cleansing on the waning moon, the power of the moon will help to most effectively act on the stones.

CLEANSING STONES WITH SALT

One of the most effective ways cleansing is considered sea salt cleansing. Sea salt has the ability to draw out all negativity.

To do this, you will need a glass or ceramic container in which you can put your stones and cover them completely with salt. Leave the stones in salt for a day, after which the salt must be thrown away and the stones rinsed in water.

IMPORTANT! Use dry sea salt! Saline solutions can harm appearance your stone. Not all minerals can be allowed to come into direct contact with salt!

If you are not sure how salt will affect you, you can use an alternative salt cleaning option.

Pour the salt into a deep container. Wrap your stones in a piece of cloth and sprinkle with salt in the same way as in the first option, or simply place a napkin over the salt, and on it are the stones and jewelry that you want to clean. This method is no less effective, but it will help to avoid the troubles associated with a violation of the appearance.

CLEANING STONES WITH WATER

Cleansing with water is the easiest and most affordable way. Ideally, if you have the opportunity to wash the stones in spring water. But even plain water also suitable for these purposes.

Just hold the stones under running water for 10-15 minutes, and the water will carry away the extra heavy information that has accumulated in them. It is good to combine such cleaning with visualization, how water washes away and takes away all the negativity. After that, lay the stones on a dry surface, but do not wipe them, they should dry themselves.

PURIFICATION STONES WITH FIRE

Fire has a powerful cleansing power, so the method of purification by fire is also suitable for stones.

Take a candle white color, or the color of the stone you want to clear (if there is only one stone). Light it and first pass a few circles of candles over the stone, and then with the stone over the candles. If it is possible to hang a stone on a chain, then you can pass the stone through the flame several times. At the same time, you can visualize how everything bad is burned in the fire. Then the stones must be placed next to the candles until it burns out completely, so it is better to take a small candle.

CLEANSING STONES WITH EARTH

Another effective way for purification is the use of the power of the Earth. The earth is the home of all stones, the place of their birth, therefore, in their native element, they are not only cleansed, but also gain strength. In this case, the stones are buried in the ground from 3 to 7 days, and the energy of the Earth nullifies all the information accumulated in them. Well, if you have your own land, if not, then you can use an ordinary flower pot, where stones are placed for purification. After a few days, the stones are dug up and washed with water.

CLEANING STONES WITH AIR

Cleansing with air is another way to appeal to the forces of the elements. In this case, the forces of air mean fumigation with incense, which has purifying properties.

Incense sticks or dried herbs can be used to clean the stones. The following are suitable: lavender, sage, frankincense, juniper, myrrh, wormwood and cedar.

Light the incense and pass your stones through the rising smoke several times, then place them side by side until the sticks and herbs are completely burnt.

After this procedure, do not forget to ventilate the room so that all negative energy disappears after cleansing.

CLEARING STONES WITH SOUND

Sound is able to create certain vibrations that purify and balance the energy around. Singing bowls, bells and various stringed instruments are suitable for these purposes. The stones are arranged in a row or in a circle, and then a sound vibration directed at them is reproduced.

CLEANING STONES WITH COLD

A fairly simple method that can be used for a quick cleansing is cold cleansing or freezing. To do this, the stone must be put in the freezer for 2-3 hours, after which the negative information is erased from it or, in other words, frozen out.

CLEANING WITH OTHER STONES

Also, stones can be cleaned with other stones that have cleansing properties. For this, transparent crystals of a pointed shape can be suitable, which are laid out around the stone to be cleaned with sharp ends and left for 6 hours.

The leader among crystals for these purposes is rock crystal. In addition, quartz druze can be used, on which stones can be stored while not in use.

Choose any of the suggested methods or use several of them at the same time. Your stones will only become stronger from this.

polished surface tarnishes over time

Very often, the facades of houses, offices and apartments are faced with natural stone. Such a finish is considered durable, and with proper care can last for decades.

But over time, the polished surface begins to not shine so much, scratches, various spots, cracks appear. In order for the cleaning of natural stone to be effective and safe, it is necessary to choose the right care products.

There are 3 different cleaning methods:

1. with the help of acids and acid compounds;
2. combined methods;
3. sandblast cleaning.

Cleaning natural stone with acids and acidic compounds.

• Cleaning natural stone with acids and acidic compounds is used only for outdoor work. The method is notable for its low price and good results on moderately soiled surfaces (for example, lime residues, mortar, rust are well removed). Organic acids are used, as well as hydrochloric, phosphoric and others. The surface to be treated must be abundantly moistened with acid, previously diluted with water and left for a while. After that, rinse with clean water. This method should be used with extreme caution when cleaning marble and limestone.
• Cleaning natural stone with alkali. Used in case of severe contamination. Has a degreasing effect. Particularly effective for removing organic dirt, traces of dirt, soot. Suitable for limestones. Should not be used to clean rust, cement contamination.
• Cleaning natural stone with pastes. Used to remove such contaminants: mold, algae, moss, etc. Suitable for the destruction of grease and oil stains, paint, resin. The method of application consists in applying the paste to the surface to be treated for up to three days.

Cleaning of natural stone by a combined method

Most often it is already used when the surface needs to be further cleaned in other ways. In this case, grinding is used, both with mechanical abrasive and diamond tools. The main disadvantage of this method of removing contaminants is that stone products can be damaged.

Using the sandblasting method

This type of cleaning is used only for outdoor work. With this method, special fine sand under high pressure treat contaminated surfaces. It is necessary to carry out cleaning away from glass, wood and plastered surfaces, as this method can damage them.

• always carefully read the instructions for use so that there is no damage;
• start cleaning the surface from contamination with a less concentrated solution and only then with a more concentrated one;
• test the product on an inconspicuous area.

In ancient times, our Ancestors knew about the amazing and unusual properties of natural stone - one of the most mysterious primary elements of the Earth. The ancestors knew that the stones have healing properties and living energy, they transmit the energy of their host planet through themselves.

Thanks to the preserved Knowledge of our Ancestors, we know that stones have Protective Power, they can protect from troubles and evil influences - envy, damage and other troubles. In addition, minerals have a beneficial effect on the fate and health of a person.

Each natural stone is unique. It carries a powerful force, which, interacting with a person, is able to have a positive effect on him, bring harmony (harmony) to his life, evenly distributing this force to different areas of consciousness of its owner. Thanks to its properties, the energy of stones is able to relieve tension, relieve stress and protect against negative impacts, restore the harmony of the body, Soul and Spirit of a person.

Natural stones are truly amazing. Born by Mother Earth, they are polished by natural water, caressed by the Sun and wind. We can say that minerals are pure natural sources of energy of the Earth, the Sun and the Cosmos. Natural stones are a kind of accumulators of the Force of Nature, which are not only able to preserve, but also accumulate their potential, giving it to its owner at the right time.

Recently, it has been scientifically proven that natural stones in the house are able to align the energy of the home. Each stone has its own individuality and special magical properties - it is not in vain that people from ancient times, and some, to this day, have been looking for the Philosopher's Stone.

If you look closely at the mineral and watch it for a while, you will notice that each stone lives its own unique life. He can feel, understand the shades of mood, can serve the owner, can take the heavy blows of his fate upon himself.

There is an exchange of energy and information between a stone and a person. Therefore, the stones must be cleaned periodically. It is very important and mandatory to clean new stones, bought or donated. After all, when we buy new clothes or products in the store, we usually wash or wash them before putting them on or eating them, so that they are clean and do not contain anything unwanted.

The same applies to stones. All newly acquired stones must be cleaned. Crystals remember information, including negative information, even more than water.

Before using a stone, it must be energetically and informationally cleansed with the help of the 5 elements of Mother Nature. Usually, they are cleaned before they are worn (if the item is new). They are also cleaned while wearing, if the thing fell into someone else's hands, or there were some unpleasant events, or illnesses, or grief.

Over time, you may feel that the stone has ceased to be a conductor of energy, the lasso of attraction of which it is. That means it's time to wash it.

Stones must be cleaned on the waning moon or combined with a period of two weeks before major holidays, such as Kolyada, Maslenitsa, Kupala, Ovsen, then the effect of purification will be most powerful.

The stones are cleaned once a year from 16 to 21 March. These dates can coincide with any lunar day.

Clean the stone sequentially different ways: first with sea salt, then with running water, then with candle fire, then, if desired, with druze of rock crystal or amethyst, herbs / flowers, moonlight.

Salt cleansing.

For wet cleaning Dissolve a teaspoon of salt in a cup of water. For better dissolution, salt can be poured with warm water, however, then, it is necessary to allow the solution to cool before immersing the stone in it. Rinse in a glass or ceramic bowl. Plastic and metal tend to transfer some of their properties to water. Soak the stone in the solution overnight and then rinse with running water.

For dry cleaning you will need a container deep enough to fill enough salt to completely cover the stone. Place the stone in the salt so that its upper part is facing Mother Earth, and leave it there all night.

Be very careful when purifying minerals with salt. Could happen chemical reaction, which will damage the crystal lattice of the stone. Salt can cause the polish of the stone to fade, and some minerals can change their color.

You can use an alternative method of cleansing with salt. Put the stone in a small glass container and place it on a dish sprinkled with salt. Although the mineral will not come into contact with salt, it will have its cleansing effect on it.

Purification can be enhanced by turning to Mother Earth and chanting the mantra of harmonization with the elements of the Earth: "Aum, Prithivi - namah."

Moonlight Cleansing.

You can enhance the purification with the help of moonlight. If the stone was used to remove negativity, lower it into a vessel with salt water and place it in a place where the light of the waning moon will fall on it for several nights. As the Moon wanes, it will take away all negativity with it. It is even better to put it on the street, where the moonlight will not linger on the glass.

If you want to activate the energy of the Moon, in stones that carry its energies (pearl, moonstone), then you need to do this on a full moon. Find a window sill in your house that is flooded with moonlight on a full moon for at least a few hours. Place the stone on this window sill for three nights, starting on the night before the full moon.

After that, you can additionally charge your minerals, which are under the auspices of the Moon, with the help of the mantra: "Aumnamo Bhagavate Vasudevaya." It is necessary to read this mantra at least 108 times, and preferably the full Slavic-Aryan Circle - 144 times.

Cleansing with Water.

Running clean water removes any information very well. After cleaning with water, the stone should be put to dry next to a burning candle. This will be a very effective cleaning.

During cleansing with water, say the mantra of harmonization with the element of Water, at least 9 times: "Aum, Varuna - namah."

During purification by fire, say the mantra of harmonization with the element of fire, at least 9 times: "Aum, Agni - namah."

Herbal/Flower Purification.

This delicate way to clean the stone consists of dipping it into a container of dried herbs or flower petals. This cleansing can be combined with moonlight cleansing, but if used alone, it will take about a week.

A faster way to clean stones is to fumigate them. In a fireproof bowl, set fire to some sage, cedar, or juniper, and then pass the stone through the smoke. This does not require thick clouds of smoke, a weak haze is enough. To calm the energy of the stone, you can add a few lavender flowers.

Crystals that should not be purified with water - neither fresh nor salty:

• astrophyllite, heulandite, gypsum, rock salt, kyanite, muskavit (a kind of mica), selenite, seraphinite (clinochlore), stilbite, uvarovite, celestite, chermigit (geyserite), fuchsian schist, chrysocolla.

Water dissolves these minerals and can affect their physical properties. All these minerals are best cleaned with candles, i. fire or any other dry method.

Crystals that should not be cleaned with salt water:

• aquamarine, apophyllite, belomarite, turquoise, hematite, labradorite, calcite, cacholong, lapis lazuli, malachite, onyx, opal, pyrite, rhodonite, rhodochrosite, carnelian, ulexite, fluorite, eudialyte, amber.

Salt water adversely affects their physical properties.

It remains to add that no matter what the gem is used for (for medicinal, Volkhov purposes, or simply as an ornament), it needs to be looked after. This procedure is simple, labor-intensive and does not require much time.

After cleaning, the stones must be charged by placing them in the light of the Sun for several hours, or in the moonlight if they are stones of the Moon. You can recharge them with a crystal generator, crystal druses, pyramids. It is especially important to charge those stones that you often wear. You can also charge your stones by chanting over them the mantras of harmonization with the 5 elements of Nature (minimum 9 times, but better 108 times, and even better - 144 times.

Remember that it is better not to give your stones into the hands of other people, because any stone adapts to the energy of its owner. Otherwise, there is a danger of “infecting” the mineral with negative vibrations.

Knowing that the stones are your helpers, it is useful to talk with them: tell them about how you would like them to help you, how they protected you, what power they gave (you just need to know what kind of power this or that stone carries in itself, is it suitable he is according to your horoscope).

In return for help, all stones want to receive the Love of their owner, so call them affectionate words, give them your Love and thank them for their excellent service. Then your minerals, truly, will not be a simple decoration, but a powerful amulet, giving you the power of their universal mistress - the planet-ruler.

All products made of minerals must be cleaned once a month with fire in a circular motion of a lit candle clockwise with the pronunciation of the mantra of harmonization with the element of Fire: “Aum, Agni - Namah”.

For storage, it is better to use bags - for each stone separately. The bag must be silk or cotton. In such a package, gems can be stored in one box or box.

Store items that you wear all the time on an amethyst druze or rock crystal brush, next to. In this way, you will constantly increase the power and strength of your stones.

Chanting mantras in Sanskrit is a way to create the right sound vibrations that have a beneficial effect on the world around us and our Souls with the help of simplified form Old Slovenian Speech (which is Sanskrit), because. we still have to grow to its complex forms.

The correct understanding of mantras can be seen on the example of the mantra: "Aum, Varuna - namah." In this mantra: Aum is one of the main names of the Supreme Progenitor; Varuna - the name of the God-Controller of the Heavenly Waters; namah - means: on (accept) my respectful bow to the ground - mah. The meaning of this mantra in modern Russian sounds like this: “Oh, the Most High Ancestor, manifesting Himself in the form of the God-Controller of the Heavenly Waters - Varuna, accept my respectful bow to the earth.”

Soon you will see for yourself that instead of this long ornate phrase, it sounds much more accurate and capacious: “Aum, Varuna - Namah.” All the other mantras given in the text should be understood in the same way, given that Prithivi is the name of Mother Earth, Agni is the name of the Fire God, Vayu (Veyu) is the name of the Wind - Stribog, Akasha (not porridge, i.e. not thick, but sparse) is the name of Space (Ether).

Turning to the Gods-Controllers of the 5 elements of Mother Nature: Ether, Air, Fire, Water and Earth, you co-attune with your Great-Great-Grandfathers and Great-Great-Grandmothers - the Gods and Goddesses of the world of Glory.

It is very favorable to pronounce mantras and praises to the Gods-Rulers of the elements of Nature always: Earth - every time you walk barefoot; Water - at each bathing in the shower or in natural reservoirs (sea, river, etc.); Fire - when it is bred; Air - when in the wind (especially before flying on any aircraft); Space (Ether) - before and during travel. Thus, you show a respectful attitude towards the Gods-Controllers of these elements and maintain your co-attunement with Them, which means you will receive their blessing and support.

However, you must be aware that in doing so, you, first of all, turn to the Supreme Ancestor, who manifests himself in the images of your Native Ancestor Gods. This is important to remember, because, and not branches and leaves, i.e. turn to the one Almighty, understanding that He manifests Himself in a multitude of Native Gods. This is the whole essence of Rodobozhie, Vedic Culture, the Old Faith, the Native Faith - to realize the simultaneous unity in the multitude and the multitude in the unity of the Supreme Progenitor.

I wish you in this: for men - Success, and for women - Good luck.

Aum Tat Sat.

Co-attunement mantras with 5 elements of Mother Nature: Earth: “Aum, Prithivi – namah”, Water: “Aum, Varuna – namah”, Fire: “Aum, Agni – namah”, Air: “Aum, Vayu – namah”, Space (Ether): “Aum, Akasha - namah”. Note. author.

How to clean a stone negative energy

How to cleanse the stone of negative energy. The easiest ways to clean stones from negativity: running water, earth, and other methods! Come in! Read! Apply!

Most precious stones, whether rough or cut, alone or in jewelry, pick up negative or unwanted energy over time. Stones, like sponges, absorb both negative and positive energy and react to various energies. environment. There are stones in nature that are not subject to the accumulation of energy, therefore, they do not need to be cleaned - citrine, kyanite.
Crystals and pebbles that are used for stone healing or lithotherapy or other work with them should be cleansed and cleansed of negative energy yourself. You will also find that clearing the stones makes them more positive. In order to cleanse yourself, it is enough to take a cold shower, namely a cold one, since warm or hot - only the body is cleaned, and cold washes away all the accumulated energy and makes you neutral.
A number of methods that are usually used to cleanse clear crystals and stones in order to restore their light, joyful, lively energies. Use what suits you and your stones best.
Whichever method you choose, keep your focus during the cleansing on the intent to dissolve the negative and unwanted energies from the crystal.
Before cleaning, you can perform a simple ritual:
Ask God for help with the cleansing: it's a simple ritual, but it can work wonderfully. Simply ask the Divine (God/Goddess/Universe/etc) to energetically clear your crystal for you. The form of your request should contain a specific goal and set in a meditative or prayerful mood. Something along the lines of “O great Divine, please clear all unwanted or negative energies from the stone for the best and highest good of all concerned. Thank you. Amen". The details are subject to change to suit your own beliefs and needs.

Sunlight or moonlight

The rays of the sun and the moon are energetically very powerful and perfectly cleanse the stones energetically, as well as energize. Place the stones outside preferably or in a separate window where they can soak up the sun or moonlight during the day / night, you can for a week, this is very beneficial, as you can clean and sunlight and lunar. Be careful as some stones may fade in the sun. A few stones that will fade in the sun are amethyst, celestine, opal, and turquoise. If you have any doubts at all, be sure to use only moonlight for cleansing.

Earth or sand

As wild as it sounds to those of us who grew up watching horror movies, burying crystals and stones can have a very powerful cleansing and healing effect on them. You can bury them in the ground and they can lie there for 3 days and up to a week, this can be either in your yard or in a flower pot. Be sure that if you hide your stones in the yard, do not forget to mark the place so that later your yard does not turn into one dug-up flower bed. I don't think you want to find your stones again, shovel half the yard.

Salty water

Another method of how to cleanse the stone of negative energy is salt water. While this is a great way to clean crystals, I recommend being very careful when using salted water as this method is not suitable for all stones. You need to know the physical properties of your crystal to make sure they are not porous or soft so they won't absorb water. Salt water gets into the structure of some crystals and stones, which causes their destruction. Sometimes a breakdown does not occur immediately, but with a weakened structure, it may break later. Here are some stones that do not do well in salt water: calcite, carnelian, halite, hematite, labradorite, lepidolite, magnetic ironstone (magnetite), mica, moldavite, opal, turquoise, ulexite, and there are probably more stones. When you use salt water, be careful not to leave your crystals in it longer than necessary.

sea ​​salt crystals

Stones can be placed in dry, rough crystals sea ​​salt within 24 hours to clear them. They can also be preserved in sea salt to keep them from losing energy and accumulating negativity from their environment. In damp rooms, the use of sea salt can sometimes cause the same problems as salt water. It can also stay in the crevices of the structure and eventually combine with the water in the air and shatter the rock.

Fumigation with smoke

Fumigation is one of the safest methods of cleaning crystals and stones from unwanted energy. It is also a much faster way to clear crystals than any of the above methods. To do this, you need to carry the stone several times through the smoke of burning cedar, sage, grass, or incense. You can also spray with essential oil white sage if you are sensitive to the smoke of stone cleaning materials. Just be aware that a lot of liquid is bad for some crystals, although a light mist of water is much less than most water cleaning methods.

fresh water

Here is another easy way to cleanse the stone of negative energy. Rainwater, filtered water, or even regular tap water for a quick cleanup, you can dip your rocks under cold water. Hot, very cold, or warm water can damage some crystals and stones. You can also use water filtered with Shungite to cleanse other stones, and this one
the method can be used as an energetically positive method of water filtration. Again, as with salt water, make sure the crystals are not water tainted before placing them in the water.

Reiki

Another way to clear the stone of negative energy is Reiki, or other healing energy work - this is another of my favorite crystal clearing methods. In a sense, this is the collection of universal life energy in order to heal the stone from negativity and unwanted energies. The Reiki Master Practitioner can simply treat the stone like any other being in need of healing and set their intention to heal the stone of any negative or unwanted energies.

stone cleaning

Some stones are cleared of negative or unwanted energies from the energy of other stones. Some stones that work well for this crystal are Druse Quartz, Druse Amethyst, Carnelian, Kyanite and Selenite. Place the stone on the “clearing” of stones (spread the cleansing stones in a thin layer and put the stone being cleaned on top), and leave for 24-48 hours. Kyanite cleans other stones well.

floral waters

You can also clean transparent stones in flower water. Soak the stones in water with rose petals, honey, orange blossom, jasmine or other for 24 hours. You can also use pre-made floral waters such as Pure Rose. Again, precautions are taken for rocks that don't do well with water.

Breathing through the third eye

Breathing with the third eye (for those who know how and love to meditate): in a quiet, secluded place, ground yourself (pass the energy of the earth through you) and start breathing slowly. Visualize white light breathing through the third eye chakra and back. Hold the crystal in your hand at the level of your third eye and breathe white light from your third eye into the crystal for the purpose of clearing unwanted and negative energies. Repeat at least 3 times, more if the crystal does not clear after the third time.

sound

I present to your attention another method on how to cleanse a stone of negative energy - using a melodious gong, Tibetan prayer bells, bells, om chanting, to clear unwanted energies from your crystal. Keep the stone and the sound of the gong, etc. close by, passing through the crystal , sound waves, will purify it.

candle flame

Fire is another way to cleanse the stone of negative energy. Focus your intention and verbally pray or ask to clear your crystal, hold your hand with a stone or a stone suspended from something quickly through the flame of a white candle. Be sure to move fast enough to prevent overheating or damaging the crystal. Repeat until the energy of the crystal is completely cleared.

Four forces

In the ritual, use the symbols/representatives of the four elements and invoke them to purify your crystal while passing the stone through (above) the symbolic representation of each element. For a five element system, do the same but with five elements.
Whichever method you choose, the exact length of time required for cleaning varies according to personal intuition and the state of the crystal. Trust your intuition and higher self to guide you to the best methods and duration for you and the stone.
The best time for cleaning stones and crystals is five days, this last days solar year, when the sun is in the constellation Pisces, from 16 to 21 March. When the Sun is in the constellation of Aries, the 1st decan, you can clean the stones with fire.
Peeled by placing them in the light for a few days. And the more often you wear a stone, the more useful it is to place it in sunlight or moonlight for a short time to recharge. Also, after cleaning the stone, it can be charged using a generator crystal. Druses of crystal or pyramids are also suitable for these purposes.

Gemstones come to our house in different ways. Some we buy ourselves, others give us, others are inherited or generally come to us by accident. In any case, the gem has been in several hands before us, at least in the hands of a jeweler and a seller, which means that the stone could already absorb someone else's energy - other people's emotions, problems and moods. What events he witnessed, most often known only to him alone.

Noble stones accumulate energy

Stones used for treatment, as well as those that came to the new owner from deceased relatives, should be thrown down for obligatory cleaning. The most susceptible to negative energy, and therefore requires frequent cleaning, onyx. The least capable of accumulating negative citrine, this mineral needs only normal care.

You can maintain neutrality with stones, you can be friends, but it’s better to make a gem your ally and helper. To do this, remember a few rules:

• 1. Do not count on a quick understanding. The stone must get used to the new owner, tune in to the same wavelength with the owner. This takes time.
• 2. The new stone must be cleaned in order to erase the energy and information trace of the former owner from its memory.
• 3. After cleaning, you need to let the stone rest and restore strength for 7-10 days, then charge the stone with sunlight or moonlight.
• 4. The stone should be lovingly cared for and periodically cleaned, the frequency of which depends on the method of use (wearing as jewelry, healing procedures, meditation, etc.).
• 5. Sometimes you need to let your favorite jewelry rest without wearing it for several days.
• 6. It is desirable that the gem does not know the hands of others, especially in the period between cleaning and charging.

An attentive owner of a gem will immediately notice a change in his stone - a change in color or a dull sheen. This will mean that the stone is tired and needs rest and cleaning.

How to rid the stone of the accumulated negative energy?

The best cleanser is water. It is useless to take chlorinated tap water or simply boiled water. Water must be alive - spring, artesian, river, melt. We clean the gems in the last three days lunar month, since these days the strength of the stones is weakening, and their energy field is easier to part with the accumulated information.

So, we lower our stone into a glass vessel with water and leave it for several hours. Then rinse thoroughly under running water. After "water procedures" the gem should be placed for a couple of hours to dry and recharge with live energy on a plucked green leaf of a plant next to a burning candle. For the next 7-10 days, the stone should rest in a place where no one will disturb it. Closer to the full moon, the stone is laid out at night on a window where moonlight falls or for several hours in the sun. A gem charged with lunar or solar energy is ready for dialogue with the owner. The stone will generously share with its owner magic power, help in medical procedures, protect in difficult life situations.

What you should pay attention to when cleaning stones from negativity

It must be remembered that turquoise, rose quartz and amethyst cannot be charged with sunlight, as they burn out under the influence of the sun, losing the beauty of their color.

Often recommended in various sources, cleaning stones with sea salt (in solution or dry form) or ice (freezing) is not suitable for all gems. Salt can ruin the polish of a piece of jewelry, change the physical properties of the stone, and temperature contrasts during freezing and thawing can lead to cracks and chips. It is not recommended to cleanse with salt malachite, turquoise, opal, onyx, amber, carnelian, pyrite, lapis lazuli and many others.

Cleaning method fresh water followed by moonlight charging for most stones is the safest. Also, the gem can be charged by placing it next to a rock crystal.
